Since joining from Liverpool in 2011, Ayala has never really benefitted from a solid run in the Canaries defence. He found himself on loan at Nottingham Forest last season, and at Middlesbrough for the majority of this. Ayala is now out of fantasy consideration for the remainder of the season.

Ayala has not played a competitive fixture for the Canaries this season. He spent last season on loan at Nottingham Forest, but only managed 12 games in a spell blighted by injury. The former Liverpool youngster has still to find a regular run of games in the top flight, and now he should be firmly off everybody's Fantasy radar for the next three months at least.
